VvAPOR-BU RN ER FOR STOVES.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 423,085, dated March 11, 1890.

Application filed .Tune l0, 1889. Serial No. 313,732. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, HENRY RUPPEL, of Cleveland, in the county of Cuyahoga and State of Ohio, a citizen of the United States,

have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Vapor-Stoves; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, true, and exact description thereof.

My invention relates to that class of vaporto stoves which are provided with a combination of t-wo or more burners; and the invention consists in the means whereby the vapor is distributed to the various burners ofthe stove, one needle-valve being used for the generating-burner and another for all the supplementary burners which may be connected with the same stove-frame.

rPhat the invention may be fully understood, reference will be had to the following` 2o specification and the accompanying drawings,

in which- Figure l is a plan view of a vapor-stove having the gasoline-tank removed. Fig. 2 is a front elevation of the same with the lower part of the frame broken away. Figs. 3, 4,

and 5 are views in detail of the vapor-distributing parts, which will be hereinafter referred to.

Like letters of reference denote like parts 3o in the drawings and specification.

The stove, as represented in Figs. l and 2, has a generating-burner and three supplementary burners. The generating-burner A is located at oneend of the frame, and the 3 5 other burners partly in the center and partly opposite therefrom. In the center is arranged the double burner B B, andv at the end opposite the generator-burner is a single or terminal burner C. To supply said supplement- 4o ary burners with vapor, so as to have either the double burner, or one of the center and the terminal burner, or only one of the center burners in operation at the same time, and all being under control of one needle-valve, is accomplished by the means and in the manner as hereinafter set forth.

As above stated, the generating-burner A is arranged at one end of the stove-plate D, as seen in Figs. l and 2. In said iigures also two needle-valves F. and F are shown, although only7 one of them (F) is essential to .control of a needle-valve and adjusted by means of a lever, the handle of which is seen at II, and the port of said Valve is in com- 6o munication with the vapor-generating ports of the burner.

Arranged in front and in line with the valve F along an d under the sto ve-plate is the vaportube I. Said tube begins in close proximity t0 the valve F, and its extension I terminates at or in the burner C opposite the burner A. The center or double burners B B are connected with the casing of a distributing-valve K, which is 'interposed between the tube I 7o and its extension I', as seen in Fig. 2. By means of said valve K .I the vapor with which the tube I is supplied is distributed to the burners B B and C. The particular construction of said valve is illustrated in Figs. 3, et, and 5, wherein .I represents the valvecasing proper. The combustion-chambers B B of the burners B B are in open relation with the inside of said casing, and the nipples Ya a', which lead to and from said casing, af- 8o ford connection with the tubes I I as seen in Fig. 2. The valve K, which is fitted tothe circular bore of the casing J, is retained within the same by means of the screw-bolt L and turned by the handle M. l The lower part of said valve extends all around said bore, as seen at C, but on or about on a line level with the nipples a a. Only a part of the interior wall is covered by said valve, as seen in Figs. 3 and ii. By this construction the pipe I and 9o one of the center burners is left in communication with each other and the Outlet of the needle-valve F. On turning theY valve K in direction of the arrow until the top plate c strikes against the pin d, Fig. 5 the tube I 95 will also be set in communication with the 'tube I or valve` F, and then both the end supplied with vapor. The valve K may also be so set as to shut olf the terminal burner and supply the double center burner only.

' By the' abovesaid means and arrangement the burners can be used oonjointly to concentrate the heat, or separately, according to the conditions required. In this manner one needle-valve can or may supply any number of supplementary burners in any position in which they may be arranged, and only one or all may be in operation at the same time.

What I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

1. In a vapor-stove, the combination of the burners A, B B, and C, the needle-Valves G and F, the distributing-valve K of the easing,r J, and the tubes I I', said valves G and F being in communication With the supply-pipe and ports of the generating-burner, and the easing arranged in connection with the tubes I I and the burners B B C and in open relation to the valve F, constructed and arranged substantially as and for the purpose set forth.

2. In a Vapor-stove, the generating-burner A near one end thereof, non-generating double center burner B B, and a single burner C near the opposite end of t-he stove-frame, and the needle-valve F, in combination with the tubes I I', the casing J, and the valve K, to Supply the non-generating-burners with vapor, in the manner substantially as shown and Set forth.

3. In a vapor-stove, the Combination of a needle-valve F, a generating-burner, vaportubes I I', a easing` J, interposed between said tubes, burners B B and C, arranged in open connection With said easing, and the tube I and the Valve K, constructed and arranged Substantially as and for the purpose set forth.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two Witnesses.

HENRY RUPPEL.
